HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman was locked in a battle with a political novice fueled by anti-war sentiment in the nation's most closely watched primary race Tuesday.

A new poll showed the race tightening between Lieberman and anti-war challenger Ned Lamont with Lamont holding a slight lead. Lieberman has said he will run as an independent in the fall if defeated in the primary.
